Default Question ~ Does fuel injection add weight?

Does the fuel-injected version of an engine weigh more then its naturally
aspirated version?

Thanks,

Engines WITHOUT superchargers or turbochargers
are considered... "normally aspirated" and can be
either fuel injected or carbureted.

Both carburetor and fuel injected systems can
be supercharged or turbo-charged.

Carb and fuel injection systems are close in weight,
but supercharging of either fuel induction system
will add a few pounds, generally speaking.
